Spoiler for Hunter x Hunter manga spoilers:
I'm not saying that it's for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was suddenly revealed. Then again, I only started thinking about this after watching the episode |

I never saw the original so this all new to me, but i liked what i saw. So is Mito not his mom, was just wondering why Gon called her by her first name. Like how the captain was the examiner. Interesting that he knew Gon's father. Wonder if he;ll tell him anything. Glad the other 2 saved him, they don't seem bad.

The first Hunter X Hunter was the second animé i ever saw after Ginga Nageroboshi Gin(Silver fang).
And after Silver fang it´s my favourite show ever, just watched the first ep of the new one and i liked it. Quote:
And also on the boat they showed both his agility and affinity with animals, first when he said that the seagulls told him that a storm was coming and his agility was shown when he jumped up that net. Were we even watching the same show? Last edited by Sabinswe; 2011-10-02 at 23:58. |

I skimmed through the first episode, and it was okay. Obviously not as "detailed" as the original(if what Anh_Minh says is true), but did a decent job moving through the story with the most important bits. It is kinda sad that it loses the melancholy of the original anime though, which felt more as if they were telling the day-to-day life of Gon rather than Gon searching for his father(which is the ambiance of this new adaptation).
Oh, and Hisoka glowing crotch shot is f*kn AWESOME =03! |

Regarding Kurapica's voice...well, that's how Miyuki Sawashiro is. She voices boys and girls using the same tone. I didn't like her performances as Toto (Deadman Wonderland) and Lag Seeing (Tegami Bachi), so i'm sure this will be annoying too. |

Everyone else notice Biske, Knuckle and Morau's sihoulette? Greed Island is a given, but do you think the Ant arc will have a chance to be animated as well? (although I personally wouldn't be able to take it seriously with the new animation style)

I recently watched the original series, and personally it didn't grab me until the second or third round of the Hunter Exam (despite being fairly well directed from the start), so I honestly don't mind that the first episode seems to speed through a few things. There's plenty of time to develop relationships, background, the world, etc. I'm eager for the series to get to the meatier stuff and see if Madhouse puts its mark on it like the original series did so well.

I'll watch more once a dozen or so episodes are out, but I just don't see the need for this...If it was drastically different like FMA: Brotherhood that's one thing, but no way will this ever be better than the original first series...The feel of that series, the hand drawings, the mid-90's gritty backgrounds; they were l33t back when l33t was actually a cool word...
Now I'll give Madhouse credit for not drawing it ridiculously clean and pretty like the slightly disappointing Yugioh Card season, but it's hard (atleast for me) to get hype over something that was already done extraordinarily well...How can I not judge it harshly with that in mind?

It's boggling me a little bit. Having fully recognized Kurapica as a man and ingrained it in my mind in the original version, my fundamental understanding of Kurapica's gender is shaken in just a few lines. If that's what the director is shooting for in the new version, bravo. It's perturbing how well it's worked. |
